I went to the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet;
I like to go there as much as I can.
The food is so good, I can't stay away.
I eat what I like; that's always my plan.
I noticed the last time that everyone there
seemed to be overweight. Yes, it was true.
And then I felt a slight twinge of despair.
Was I one of them? Could I be fat, too?
I checked out my body, a long, hard look.
My arms are flabby; my belly is round.
I'm not the skinniest page in the book,
and yes, my shadow makes dents in the ground.
I looked around again, and I could see
that all of those fat guys were just like me.
I guess the temptation of a buffet outweighs the weight phobia. Interesting and witty! Enjoyed reading.
Hey, didn't I send a comment here yesterday? ? ? ! ; ( bri Kim, let me know if you don't get it soon! !
Kim, you've tackled a fat problem in your charmingly humorous fashion. Although obesity is nothing to laugh at, you've done it with style by laughing at yourself. I'm still laughing as I'm stuffing myself with great pizza.
How apropos (appropriate) after I just left a comment on your years-old poem about 'Handbasket'. bri ;) I almost gave it only 3 stars, but I added a 4th for your honessty. Maybe I should add a 5th for your photo?
A wonderful and meaningful poem tinged with humor. Very entertaining and with great insight.

All You Can Eat Buffet drives us to eat more. We should visit only on certain occasions.
So true. It's hard to stop eating when it costs no more to eat more. We feel like we have to 'get our money's worth'.
